S Starting in June 1994 weather data has been collected in the wet sedge experimental plots (block 1) at the Arctic Tundra LTER site at Toolik Lake. The treatments included: control, nitrogen alone, phosphorus alone, nitrogen plus phosphorus, shade house and greenhouse. The shade and green houses are only installed June thru August. Air temperature and relative humidity are read every minute and averaged every hour while soil temperatures are read every 3 minutes and averaged every 4 hours.

Notes: Occasional erratic soil temperature values occur when the air temperature is below -30. This is caused by inaccurate reference temperature at temperatures below -30. Values have not been corrected.
